With the ever-increasing prevalence of graph data in a wide spectrum of applications, it becomes essential to analyze structural trends in dynamic graphs on a continual basis. The shortest cycle is a fundamental pattern in graph analytics. In this paper, we investigate the problem of shortest cycle counting for a given vertex in dynamic graphs in light of its applicability to problems such as fraud detection. To address such queries efficiently, we propose a 2-hop labeling based algorithm called Counting Shortest Cycle (CSC for short). Additionally, techniques for dynamically updating the CSC index are explored. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our method. In particular, CSC enables query evaluation in a few hundreds of microseconds for graphs with millions of edges, and improves query efficiency by two orders of magnitude when compared to the baseline solutions. Also, the update algorithm could efficiently cope with edge insertions (deletions).
